My first Radiohead album, and one of my first rock/alternative rock album in general, coming from a completely different sound I found myself completely struck by the sound of this, I am completely shocked and blown away by it. Even though I have not studied it in detail, it takes little to understand the main themes that the album deals with and how it is a visionary and futuristic album, from the electronic components to the themes precisely.
I am writing this review after a few listens, I have no doubt that my opinion will improve the more I listen to it, I simply felt like I had to express my emotions about it right away, as soon as it is "fresh". I feel like this album has somehow tied itself to me already, I don't even have any points of reference to give it a rating. I will update this review with time because this project deserves a lot and with each listen it gets better and better.

After days of continuous listening of the album I have reached a more or less formed opinion on it, definitely not a definitive thought, but at least it's something. I will be concise, it is incredible how the futuristic themes that are seen in this album are somehow the way we are living these years ... fuck it's scary. Its sound at the same time futuristic and still so abstract and contemporary make it an incredible album, I will still have to appreciate it and will continue forever, an important album, to listen absolutely.

Edit: 98 -> 100
I don't think there is so many other albums that resisted the test of time as much as this one, other than "predicting the future" this album but the sound really sounds contemporary and almost futuristic to this day
